Aidan Gallagher x Reader

real chapter fourteen

Song: I need a dollar- Aloe Blacc

He flicks through a couple of films until he gets to Love, Simon. He goes to play it, before looking at you.
"Is this good?"
"Obviously!" You say excitedly, before getting comfy on the sofa. You're sitting right up next to him, smiling at the warmth you felt lighting you up inside. There was a warming glow coming from the window. Aidan presses play, and you both watch the film. Halfway through, he puts his arm around you comfortingly, and you place your head upon his shoulder.

At the end of the movie, you see Aidan edging in to your face, and you instinctively start edging into his face too when there's a knock on the door. You instantly blush, realising what was happening, and the position you were in.
"I'll um, I'll get that..." you say, getting up from the extraordinarily comfortable position you were in, and going to the door.

You open it to see Lizzy standing there, a sad and apologetic look on her face, and a big bag in her hands.
"Um, please may I come in?"
"Uh, sure?" You say, confused. Normally she was extremely stubborn, and would've gone out of her way when you were in an argument with her to not see you, but here she is. She comes into the front room and sees Aidan.
"Oh, am I interrupting? I can come back later..."
"Oh no, it's fine. I was just leaving, anyway." Aidan says, flustered. He was probably thinking about the fact that you and him nearly kissed, and you blushed harshly again.
"Oh, okay. Bye, Aidan." Lizzy smiles at him.
"Yeah, Bye." You say.
"Bye..." Aidan says, a slight hint of sadness and jealously in his voice.

"So..." Lizzy says, turning to you after hearing the front door shut gently.
"So..." You say awkwardly.
"Here." She says, handing you the bag. Inside we're your favourite sweets, a pair of fluffy socks, a candle, a bath bomb, a big hoodie and a summery top.
"I'm sorry for being such a horrible bitch, and I know you're going through a lot and I'm sorry, I'm just scared for you." She says solemnly.
"It's okay, and you really didn't need to get me all this, a sorry would've done the job just as well." You chuckle, seeing her smile and relax, letting out a breath that neither of you knew she was holding in.
"Well now that that's out of the wayyyy.... Has he finally asked you out yet?!" She says, almost jumping all over you like an overexcited puppy.
"Of course not! He doesn't even like me back..." she gasps an over dramatic gasp.
"So, did you, Y/n L/n, just admit that you DO like Aidan?!" She said excitedly. Your face turns into a harsh blood red, rolling your eyes.
"Oh shut up..." you say, avoiding eye contact with her by staring at the ground.
"YOU DO!!!! You know, I was joking all the times before, as I thought you two would just look cute and be cute together, but now I know that you actually like him, that's way better!!" She claps with excitement.
"Oh shhh, I know for a fact that he just likes me as a friend." You say, playing with your sleeve.
"Ohhhhh honey, it's okayyy..." she says, hugging you after seeing your pained expression.
"I don't know why it gets to me so much.." you say, hugging back.
"But Y/n, I'll bet you all the money in the world that he likes you back. I see the way he looks at you, I hear the way he talks about you to Mace and Casey. Sure, it's subtle, but I know." She says, but you assume it was only to make you feel better.
"Uhhh, I don't know..." you say, pulling away from the strangely warming hug. She looks you in the eyes, her hands on your shoulders.
"Well, I do. He likes you back, trust me." The fact was, you couldn't believe her. It just wasn't believable.
"Um, yeah well, I highly doubt that." You say, slumping down on the couch.
"Hey, do you mind if I stay round tonight? Have a girls night, go out to some party somewhere, maybe afterwards come back and watch some movies?" She says, smirking at you.
"Sure, yeah, why the hell not?" You say, instinctively jumping back up and going to your room to get changed.

*time skipppp*

You and Lizzy go to a party that a friend of Lizzy's friend was throwing.

Your outfit:

Your hair was down.

Your mom drops you off to the party, and you and Lizzy confidently get out of the car and head into the massive house from which you could hear booming music from the outside. You go in and instantly get overwhelmed by the amount of people and the loud noises filling the large building. You stick to Lizzy as if your life depends on it, scared to get lost alone in the strange, uncontrollable environment. You cling onto Lizzy's arm like a koala, and she voices her annoyance quite quickly, causing you to instantly let go, feeling ironically lonely in the big house jam packed to the brim with people, until you see Mace.
"I'm just gonna go get us some drinks, you stay right here, and I'll be right back." Lizzy says, leaving you.
"No Lizzy, wait!" You shout, but she can't hear you over the ear splitting music and amount of chatter in the room. You decide to go over to Mace, who was speaking to this other boy who you didn't know.
"Y/n! You look lovely! This is Zac, my friend. Zac, this is Y/n." Mace says.
"Hey!" You smile, slightly uncomfortable.
"Hi! Didn't know it was gonna be this full tonight..." Zac says, turning his attention from you back to Mace.
"I know! I should be meeting Casey soon though, he said he's still getting ready." Mace shouts over the music that only seemed to be getting louder.
"What about Aidan?" You attempt to shout.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure he's on a date, isn't he?" Mace says, a questioning look on his face.
"Oh, well, he didn't say anything about a date to me..." You say, a sad expression planting itself on your face without your consent.
"Um, well then.. Lizzy! Hey!" Mace says upon seeing Lizzy.
"Hiya! Here you go, Y/n." She says, handing you a red cup and keeping another for herself.
"Zac, hows it going?" She says to Zac, smiling at him.
"Good, thank you!" Zac says cheerily to her.
"Hey um Liz? Please may I talk to you for a sec?" You say, turning to her.
"Oh, uh, of course!" She says, pulling on your arm and dragging you deeper into the busy room, filled with loads of teens bouncing around to rap and pop songs.
"Lizzy, Aidan's on a date."
"Wait... WHAT?!" She practically screams.
"Mace told me. I dunno, I'm just bummed he didn't tell me." You say, annoyed and sad.
"Y/n, Y/n/n (your nickname), he doesn't know what the hell he's missing out on. I mean, just look at you!" She says, trying to make you feel better.
"Yeah, um, Hey Lizzy? I don't think this is cut out for me. You know, parties and stuff. It's so busy in here and I-I don't like it..." you say, fiddling with the hem of your dress.
"Nonsense! It'll all be fine, just come on, dance, take your mind off of Aidan for a few moments and just let go!" She says, grabbing your hand and making you dance. You wanted to throw up and cry at the same time. You wanted to go home. You felt so out of place there.
"Lizzy? I-I think I'm just going to go and he-head home... you stay here, I'll call a car or ask my m-mom to come get me or something, okay?" You say, snatching your hand out of her grasp, your breathing becoming quicker and hitched.
"Oh come on! Are you really gonna go home now? This party's just getting started!" She says, twirling around you.
"Lizzy, please!" You say, at this point gasping for air. Everything suddenly goes 5 times hotter, and you feel everything become way more heavy and achy, and you feel your knees begin to buckle, and your drink becomes heavier as well, and all your limbs don't seem to cooperate, and you seem frozen to the spot.
"Y/n??" Lizzy says, and then Mace, Zac and a few other people crowd around you, and you start falling down, your eyes growing heavier and heavier before they finally fall shut, after a few long seconds of you battling with yourself to keep them open...
